HERMOsA's HARD LUCK.
This Flcurishing Little Town is Nearly
Wired Out by the Fire Fiend.

The fire at Hermosa on Friday night
was severe blow to that fonrishing
little town and one from which it will
not soon recover. A number were left
in destitute condition, having lost
everything with no insurance. On
Saturday night the Bower band gave
concert for the benefit of the sufferers,
which was well attended, and last even
ing q ball was given for the same pur-
pose. The following special to the
Journal gives detailed account Of the
disaster:
Friday night the alarm Of fire was
sounded, and the citizens soon turned
out. Fire had broken out about eleven
o'clock in vacant building on Main
street. The gale which prevailed at the
time drove the flames rapidly to the ad-
joining building, and the spread thence
was so swift and sudden as to preclude
the possibility of saving any of the
buildings in the path of the fire, and
almost preventing the rescue Of any of
the goods. The square in which the
fire started was the principle business
one of the town, and under the cir
cumstances it appeared that the best
part of the town would burn. Eventu-
ally the !irc was checked, hut not until
it had consumed nearly everything it
could reach. The escape Of some of
the structures that were damaged
seems almost incrcditalle. The hard
ware store of George A. Clark was twice
on fire. but by the heroic efforts of a
few citizens It was saved. The new
postofice building barely escaped, and
for time il was almost abandoned to
the flames. The vacant building in
which the fire started was owned by
Emerson & Wyatt. This was totally
consumed. The next structure burned
was the meat market OF II. p. lines. then
the restaurant of Upton & Martin Bros,
the Inter Ocean Hotel, owned by e. G.
Calhoun, the grocery of j. Strator &
Company, then the school building on
Second street. and an empty building
owned by Fl. NJ. Chipman. From this
a small dwelling house caught. The
fire then spread to II. A. Calland's
lumber yard. The Office, shed and
nearly all the contents of the ward
WCiC Oil HCa. A'CNctuI OlucT houses
| was badly scorched and damaged. Once
the sparks set the roof of the depot on
| fire, and once the livery stable was ig-
nited. These We're easily cxtinguish-
cd. The only only insurance thus far
reported is that on Upton & Martin
Brothers building and stock, which
amounts to about 81 200. The other in
surance is reported to be light. The
total loss is estimated at about 500. 600.
These figures are not out of the way FAR.
The origin of the fire is unknown. Some
of the citizens think it was an incen-
flpys ar ssl ork aqdothertt s,t think it started
across the street. 1t is impossible at
this time to obtain the exact individual
losses, but they are heavy enough. The
blow is a severe one to the town. The
! individuals burned out will rebuild as
soon as possible.

A Custer correspondent writes as
follows to the Argus-Leader concern
ing the opinion of the members of the
English commission who recently visit
ed the tin district: Facts and remarks
dropped by the members of the English
commission that recently exam med the
tin mines near this point are leaking
out now and again to show that much
that has not been counted on may re-
suit from their mission. That the mem
bers of the commission and Professor
Vincent, their expert mineralogist, We're
astonished at what they saw in tin indi-
cations is fact that could not be con-
cealee, and one that they made no eff
fort TO conceal. Prof. Vinccnt's
asseveration to a reporter in Salt Lake
City, whittier he went hence, that the
Black Hills is the most remarkable
mineral region in the world, was based
not only on the unexpected extent and
richness Of the deposits, but upon the
gold, silver and lead mines which he
also inspected, thongh less vigorously
than he surveyed the tin prospects. His
wonder had reference to the variety
and extent, as well as the value of the
mineral resources of this region. and to
the advantages of the country for econ
omical operations. The abundance and
contiguity of water and fuel, the great
water powers the rich agricultural
region near to support cheaply a
large mining population, and the near
ness of a large consuming market for
TN and other materials-all these ad-
jnncts were commented upon by the
members of the commission while hare,
and contrasted with the inaccessible
and expensive cooperate mining regions
in other parts of the world. Before he
departed for Europe Prof. Vincent an
nonnced contidcntially to one or two
friends his intention to make his report
to his present employers, open negotia-
tions for further English interest in
tla Black Hills bonanzas and return
hither at his earliest convenience to
take part in tho opening up Of this
i wonderland Of mineral wealth.

THE LATEST FROM RED CANYON.
The visits of Hot Springs parties
who are engaged III developing the
Goa; fields Of Red Canyon, to home and
friends are few and far between, hence
direct reports from that ::region are
very meagre and unsatisfactory. We
are under obligations to the Custer
Chronicle for intelligence from these
coal fields from time to time and viii
endeavor to keep our readers posted as
the work of development proceeds
The following is the latest:
"Wiliam Moore and James Thornby
who have for the past two months
claims of Pitcher, Moore & Co. at Rec
Canyon, came in from that carbon,
ferrous region on Wednesday, bringing
with them about a hundred pounds Of
the choicest. and best samples of bi-
luminous coal ever found in this o,
any other country. AT a point 125
| feet in the mountain, over-cappcd will
sandstone three hundred feet thick, the
coal presents the appearance of being
absolutely perfect. Every feature i:
favorable. Its gravity, solidity. texture
and brilliancy afford unmistakable in
dlcations of its excellent quality. Th,
samples brought IN We're forwarded b,
express to Mr.. Idison. at Hastings Neh.

will send them for final test to Prince

Let it now go forth that Red Canyo,

the vital problem of the existence of

A MOURNFUL WAL.

Bro. Stanley of the Pilot has been
over to the Springs boiling out for a
week back. The Hot Springs are good
for editors, as they remove all surplus
bile from the system. leaving it in a

the tone of a great many Of their cdito-
rials.-News
Are we to infer, then. that the recent
earnest and frantic appeal for help by
Bro. Hair, which appeared in a late
issue of the News, a portion Of which

of bile, or a chronic case of 'unrequited
love?' He is evidently in a very pre-.
carious condition and we advise him to
come to the Springs or go to Custer

This Morning at 9 o'clock !:

Not long ago we bought large lot Of Turkey-red
Table Cloth, of quality usually retaed at about 40
per yard price that enabled sell it at 20
At this price sold part of purchase but
it did fast enough reduced it to cents
per yard This reduction has lessened great degree
the quantity hand but enough suit u.s. In the
course of the season could doubtless sell it all that
price but, as rule if article does sell with
at price it must 60 at another.
Hence we have again reduced the price, and at 9
o'clock THIS MORNING we shall place on Do
mesc Counters what have left of this lot of Turkey
red Damask at Il CENTS PER YARD.
We believe that this price it will pay people to
buy though they have present need for such goods
but should sell this low figure there will be
nothing left do but make still further reduction
later day. 1t is not safe however, to wait for
this further reduction because, unless mistaken,
at IS cents yard these goods will be called for faster
than our clerks can cut them from the bolt.

As an instance Of the scarcity of inform
alton concerning Central California that
has been placed before Immigrants coming
into the State by way of Southern Califor-
MIA, the cases of the Messrs E. C. and C.
NJ. Dyer, recently from Indiana, who have
purchased land at Newcastle, IN Placer
county, is cited. They state that their
train consisted of four sections. carrying in
all twelve hundred passengers, and, as far
as they know, that out of the entire num-
Der they were the only two who came as
far north as Sacramento. They express
themselves as being delighted with New
castle, and say that very little judicious
advertising would be productive of the best
results. They first heard of Central Cali
fornia through the efforts of the Central
California immigration Association, and
came to this part of the State with a very
intelligent understanding of its capabili
ties. Their good opinion of Newcastle and
that section, which at present is beginning
to experience strong raise in value, is
shared by the rest of the people of this
part of the Golden West
